    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Coventry remain on the front foot and Viktor Gyokeres continues to enjoy himself, bullying Tosin Adarabioyo.

    He lays it off to Callum O'Hare, whose effort is blocked by Neco Williams.

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    An impact straight away from substitute Bobby Decordova-Reid as he gets a fine cross in which arrives at Aleksandar Mitrovic.

    Not happening for the 38-goal man so far though, as he pokes one wide.

  3. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    The second 45 gets under way.

    Fulham must improve. Coventry will try to maintain what they did in that opening period.

    A statement of intent from Fulham boss Marco Silva as he sends on Bobby Decordova-Reid in place of Nathaniel Chalobah. Looks like all-out attack to me!

  4. Coventry causing havocpublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    The hosts have enjoyed more of the ball as you would expect, but Coventry have been so dangerous.

    They have had 11 shots and seven corners and have looked to put Fulham under pressure at every opportunity.

    That approach should be applauded.

    HT: Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Chris Peddy
    BBC Sport

    Adam said this wasn't in the script and he's 100% right there! There are quite a few perplexed looks in the crowd, I think a lot of these fans thought they'd be celebrating a promotion sealed up at Derby on Good Friday when they're next here against Preston on April 19.

    As it stands, that might not be the case unless Marco Silva can energise his side into turning this one round.

    They've looked anything like runaway league leaders in this game but for a couple of moments of rare quality.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    The atmosphere has gone flat at Craven Cottage but that is thanks to Coventry's brilliance, and especially Gustavo Hamer's dead ball deliveries.

    Fulham have not been at the races, certainly at the back, and will need a big second half to get something out of this.

  7. Postpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Again the visitors threaten and Viktor Gyokeres tries his luck again from distance. This one doesn't end up in the net though as he is off target.

  8. Almost threepublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Coventry manager Mark Robins was very pleased with how his team played in the 2-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.

    This afternoon, they have added the goal touch to their game and look at how it is reaping dividends.

    Another Gustavo Hamer corner and again Fulham all at sea. But Ben Sheaf can't turn it home to make it 3-0.

    I had suggested earlier that Coventry's play-off hopes were over. But I was not expecting them to play like this.

    Victory here would take them six points behind Sheffield United in sixth with five games to go and would give them a glimmer of hope.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Almost a goal back for Fulham.

    Another fine ball from the right from Liverpool loanee Neco Williams where it's met by Neeskens Kebano on the volley, which comes back off the bar. Unlucky sir!

  11. Postpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    More trouble for Fulham at the back with an aerial ball.

    Dom Hyam has a free header from a few yards out but he can't keep it down after another teasing ball in from Gustavo Hamer.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:32 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Great work from Coventry goalkeeper Simon Moore with a fine save to keep out Aleksandar Mitrovic's header from a Neco Williams cross.

  13. Postpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-2 Coventry

    Big chance for Fulham to pull one back goes begging.

    A driving run from Harry Wilson and he pulls it back to Aleksandar Mitrovic near the penalty spot. However, the net does not bulge as Mitrovic misses his kick and Neeskens Kebano behind him can't make good contact and the ball ends up with Simon Moore.

    BBC Sport at Craven Cottage

    Craven Cottage has been absolutely stunned by those two goals in four minutes.

    Every time Coventry turn the ball over they look dangerous on the counter attack and they've been lethal in front of goal.

    Those Sky Blues fans are having a party as they chant "Top, of the league? You're having a laugh!"

    GOAL Fulham 0-2 Coventrypublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Viktor Gyokeres (24 mins)

    This was not in the script!

    A horror moment for Marek Rodak and Viktor Gyokeres has put Coventry two up.

    The Sky Blues work the well up the pitch to Gyokeres on the edge of the box and the Swede decides to try his luck from just outside the box.

    His shot is decent but bounces just in front of Rodak and the Slovak makes a complete hash of it and allows the ball to go through him.

    The Sky Blues have been threatening it and they now have their goal their play has deserved.

    Gustavo Hamer delivers another fine corner from the left and centre-half Michael Rose gets across his man at the near post to flick it beyond Jan Rodak.

  17. CLOSE!published at 15:21 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-0 Coventry

    And that positive intent almost has its reward but Dom Hyam heads over from Ian Maatsen's fine ball into the box.

  18. Postpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-0 Coventry

    Very positive start by the visitors as they take the game to the Championship leaders. They look more likely to score at the moment as Fulham's big hitters can't get in the game.

    Only one win in eight but Mark Robins' men have shown good intent so far.

  19. Equally good away as at homepublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-0 Coventry

    Fulham have actually taken three more points on the road than at home this season. If they win today, it will be an identical 43 points from 20 games.

    Coventry are trying to become the first team to do the double over Marco SIlva's team after that 4-1 success in October.

  20. Postpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 10 April 2022

    Fulham 0-0 Coventry

    For the second time, Fulham centre-back Tim Ream is forced to slide one out for a corner to avert any danger after a mistake by partner Tosin Adarabioyo had almost put the visitors away.
